The 24 hour timer turns ON the filter pump and
automatically filters and, if set, heats the pool water on a
daily schedule. In addition, the control provides a 120 volt
and a 24 volt output for a switching device (a toggle switch,
a timer or a radio receiver) installed at a convenient remote
location in order to turn ON the pump, the heater and rotate
the valves thus allowing the water to circulate in the spa.
The Control also features a three position selector switch
for the heater.

The Control also has terminals to accept a number
of options like the freeze or heater protection accessories.
